thimbleschism.

Thimbleschism [‘θɪm bəl ˈs(k)izəm] is a group of creative and literary persons of great beauty and strength. I don’t know, they’re a critique group who also solves problems and they love food. They snack, they see, they play, they conquer, they enjoy the fruits of each other’s labor, they like flowers, they visit each other’s houses granted they are close by, they see each other’s houses, they plant trees, they chop down trees, they cast stones, they gather stones, they live, they die, they are evangelical Marxists, they are selfish communists, they shellfish. We are hipsters & we are preppy. We are mainstream and we are alternative. We are rockers and balladists. We are revolutionary and radical and enforcers of the mainstream. We love homogeny and intense individualism. We like big hair and go-go suits. We like stilettos and bro tanks. And if it’s cold we wear two bro tanks. We believe that more is more and more is also less. We wear sleeveless cardigans and long sleeve vests. We believe in the Mohawk and the afro (and the mullet). We are everything and we are nothing.
